Washington Wome,a.

Here is what Mr. Eugene Field, of the
Chicago Ne,US, thinks Mr.. Pat. DOMAIN
thinks of the women he has met in Wash
ington:
What gave the season its brilliancyl
Why, the women, to be sure. In spite of all
the trash and twaddle of such penny-a-line
libeerS as Henry James, there are no
women on Gods earth that compare with
our American women A lady in Washing
ton the other day asked me if in all my
travels | had not found some country pre-
ferred to my own. | said: Madam, when
| contemplate our American politics and
politicians | do it with a patent nipper
clothespin on my nose. When | look at our
Congresses, Legislatures and Boards of AL
dermen, or think of the vile herd that we
allow to vote and control our national State
and municipal governments, am filled with
unutterable loathing, and often feel like
expatI'iating myself. But one thing holds
me true 70 my native land | might change
my country, but where could / ever find
such countrywomen! ! have seen the women
of nearly every land and race under heaven.
and one genuine American girl or woman
combines in herself the best and lovelest
qualities of them all-the fire and sentiment
of the ideal Spanish senorita or Italian sig
nora, the exquisite taste of the French mad
anne or mademoiselle, and the pure, high
womanhoOd of the English maid or matron.
with a grace and beauty to be found i'm our

NOW FOR THE PENNANT.
THE SOUTHERN LEAGUE SEASON
TO OPEN TO-DAY.

Savannah at Memphis, Charleston at
Nashville, and Mobile at New Orleans
Macarthur and Parker to Be the
Home Clubs Battery-G Guessing the
Winners of the Inaugural Games
Mobiles Lack of Confldence-Presi-
dent Morrow's Circular.
Savannah at Memphis
Charleston at Nashville
Mobile at New Orleans.
This is the way the Southern League base
ball season will open to-day. The home
club reached Memphis last night and will
play there to-day Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, and will then so to Nashville.
In the present condition the club is in it is
hardly TO he expected that it will
do much with the Memphis team, which,
without doubt, is the strongest in the
league. Macarthur and Parker will be
Savannah's battery. In spite of the six
successive defeats by Charleston, the club
may make better showing with the Mem
phlans than good many people are looking
for.
The game will be reported in detail by tel
egraph at the Theatre, and an opportunity
viii be afforded to see just what the club
does. The management of the detailed re-
ports has arranged to have ushers in attend
ance at the Theatre every afternoon, and
every convenience will be provided for the
comfort of those who attend. The front
rows of the dress circle will be reserved for
ladies, and an effort will be made to make
the reports, so far as is possible, take tho
place OF the games at the grounds.
The winners of to-day's games are pretty
generally conceded to be New Orleans,
Nashville and Memphis. There was some
small betting last night on the result of the
Memphis game, but very little was staked
on the result at Nashville and New Orleans
Charleston is counting on sure
wipe-out of Bradley's men. Mobile. from
the reports received from there yesterday, is
In very uncertain state, and is not at all
confident Of the future. Mobile like every
other city which has base ball, has got to
have its first years experience, and there is
a good deal to learn With good manage
ment though there is no reason why the
Gulf City should not be one of the best in
the circuit and as the season advances and
the patronage of the games everywhere in
crease, it undoubtedly will come to the front
along with Savannah and Charleston and
the Tennessee towns
